Trade paperback. Condition: Good. xxiv, 355, [5] pages. Illustrations. Chronology of the Sixties. Glossary. Index. A look back at the major events of the 1960s, told by the voices of both the famous and those they affected, which, as a result, creates a powerful focus on the human dimension of that turbulent decade. Includes sections on Hopeful Beginnings, Saving the World, Hand in Hand Together, The Distant Drummer, The War at Home, The Generation Gap, Four Women, The Counterculture, On the Campuses, The Yuppie and the Yippie, Desperate Measures: SDS, Weathermen, Black Panthers, Coda: Kent State. Among the individuals included are Harris Wofford, John Lewis, Harold Moore, William Sloane Coffin, Philip Berrigan, Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman, and Eldridge Cleaver. No decade in American history continues to fascinate us like the Sixties. No decade combines such hopeful idealism with such violence and disillusionment, or witnesses such profound political, cultural, and personal upheavals. And no decade benefits more from being seen through the eyes of those who experienced firsthand the shocks and revelations that still reverberate today. Newly revised and updated, with an expanded introduction, From Camelot to Kent State tells the story of ten of the most dramatic years in the life of America-and of fifty-nine men and women who lived through those years. In their own words, civil rights activists, soldiers who fought in Vietnam, anti-war protesters, student radicals, feminists, Peace Corps workers, and many others take us inside the major events and movements of the period. Far from a dispassionate history of the Sixties, these stories bristle with the tension and immediacy of lived experience. How did it feel to wake up into step out of a helicopter into a Vietnamese jungle; to ride south on a freedom bus, to march on the Pentagon; to take over a college administration building; to hear Jimi Hendrix play the national anthem at Woodstock; to attend the first consciousness-raising meetings for women at the Bread and Roses café? This captivating oral history will let you know. Included are first-hand accounts from both the famous-including and the ordinary men and women who were swept up in major historical events, From Camelot to Kent State offers a uniquely valuable view of a decade that forever changed the history and consciousness of America.
